"Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us."
The Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a long platform and that the room is filled with a soft cerulean light. It's slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you, and nothing is familiar. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.
Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and offered a contract to sign that states you are now part of the crew of the Moira with a specific job. This process consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health, and afterwards, you are given your MID, a device that is integrated into your hand with only the slightest pinch. From there, you are guided out of the medbay and to your living quarters.
Having left Amissis-Re behind, tensions among crew members have continued to escalate into ship-wide consequences, and recognizing the need for some separation among those aboard the Moira, the Captains make the unanimous decision to deviate from their present course to a "nearby" planet that is notable for such popular distractions. While it is not a permanent solution, measures are being taken to monitor the crew's morale much more closely. New arrivals will be treated as they always are; yet, now, more than ever, it is important to stress the balance of working together toward their goal of reaching their destination so that everyone will return home.
WELCOME TO COLLECTIVES ASH3 - BF3 - CLF5
The Collective is a paradise resort located far from any other neighboring planets to offer the most leisurely experience possible to its patrons. Artificially created for multiple uses, it is divided into separate locales interconnected with a tubing transport system that is so fast and efficient that it’s like being teleported to the next area. Extensive mapping can be found at various intersecting points to offer some direction, and there are even recognizable adverts from a very familiar stop months before spread out across the Collective. Whether looking to explore or to simply shed the weight of anxiety, there are plenty of opportunities to be found within ASH3, BF3, and CLF5.
All crew members are given a card from the Captains that has an unlimited amount of credits on it. Organized through trade, these allow Moirans access to any of the luxuries that the Collective has to offer aside from the purchase of items considered weapons due to the escalation of recent events. Food, clothes, trinkets, or even a full spa experience—the limits, otherwise, are endless. The Captains emphasize that this is time to relax and take a break from the grind that is living and working on a spaceship as unique as the Moira.
☄ B.E.A.C.H! THE BEST ESCAPE ANYONE CAN HAVE!
For those seeking a fun time, the Collective offers a variety of activities on ASH3. There are multiple beaches to enjoy as well as beachside kiosks offering drinks, beach toys and surf equipment for those a little more sports-minded. The tide washes in beautiful shells to collect, and there are always life-guards on duty to make sure everyone stays safe while enjoying their time on the beach. ASH3 offers a safe and friendly environment with plenty of fun in the sun for everyone. There is also a boardwalk full of restaurants, bars and plenty of games and entertainment for when you want to step off the sand but don’t want to give up being out in the sun.For those who can’t or won’t bear the sun, ASH3 also offers a thriving night life on both beach and boardwalk. There are midnight boat tours to view the bioluminescent schools of fish native to the island and bonfire dance parties that go long into the mornings. On the boardwalk, all shops are open until midnight as well as many clubs and social spots where crew can mingle with other tourists in the area.
So you don’t like the sand. It’s too hot, and it gets everywhere. Then hop onto one of the many transportation systems, slip into some warmer clothes, and take to the slopes. More experienced crew can immediately dive in, but those who need help can take lessons on how to ski or snowboard. There’s hot cocoa, sleds, snowball fights, and the occasional person making a snow angel (or snow person). ASH3 also has areas for rock climbing, sky diving, base jumping, bodyboarding, canoeing, hang gliding, jetskis, mountain biking, hiking, and much more.
☄ WHEN I SHOP, THE WORLD GETS BETTER Not everyone enjoys shopping, but this Collective entices even the most frugal and reluctant into spending their credits here. In fact, the Captains are encouraging this. They give the explicit “order” to buy whatever you want for yourself and your fellow crew members, but more than that, to consider making purchases to better the ship. Is there any area of the Moira that needs spruced up? Maybe some fresh paint in the mess hall,or new furniture in the decks? Maybe some fancy curtains for all those windows on the observation deck, or a few throw pillows? New pots and pans for the kitchen might be something to add to this list as well as equipment for the rec area, or whatever else you think BF3 will have to help increase comfort aboard the Moira.
To enhance your shopping experience, the technology here allows you to try on clothes without lifting a hand. The food here is an unlimited spread of gourmet dining to comfort food and every dessert you can think of. When you’re finished with your purchases, have all your packages and larger items delivered back to the ship for you.
☄ TREAT YO SELF The accommodations on the Collective of CLF5 are as unique as they come. Lodging is available for those who want to sleep in an environment that’s underwater or perhaps those who desire something as simple as a soft bed. No matter what kind of room you want to purchase for the night, it’ll be available here, and the only true limit is the imagination. When you aren’t relaxing in a hotel room, you’ll find that there are numerous spas and hair salons that offer varied services. Gold face masks rejuvenate your skin, the Ever Young™ Spa can make you look ten years younger with one treatment, and the mud baths are known across the universes for making you feel youthful and refreshed. If you’re looking for a new hairstyle or to relax, this Collective is the place for you to spend those hard-earned credits.

And while he's playing the part of responsible adult, he should've warned the guy not to drink the water. But he didn't think he'd actually do it.]
Wow, did you lose a bet or something? [Nick arches a brow at him.] No one drinks ocean water, I don't care what planet it's on.
no subject
No, I just needed to check something.
[AKA he didn't believe the stories, but he can tell anyone who arrives from his world that they are indeed true and save them the stomach ache.]
Is it like this on all planets?
no subject
[Nick's been to a handful of worlds by now, and there's no telling how many more are actually out there. Surely at least one planet has drinkable seawater. Hell, there's probably a planet out there that has chicken broth in their oceans.
He'd like to go to that planet.
He steps up to the water's edge, watching as it laps at the toes of his tennis shoes.]
It was on my planet. Sometimes the water looked really blue, but you knew better. Not just because of the salt, but because of all the shit that was floating around in it out there somewhere. [He tilts his head at him.] Are you one of the new ones?
no subject
His face furrows when he says that, but honestly with the quality of water where he was from...yeah he's had worse. He watches as the man comes to the water and then he finds himself staring back at it. It was almost hypnotic the way the waves moves against one another and the shoreline.]
Yeah. We don't have this where I'm from.
no subject
What, not at all? [Well, that would explain tasting it, like a kid trying to catch the first snowflakes on their tongue just to see what it tasted like.] Where are you from?
no subject
[A sad thing to say, but he's use to that fact. The closest thing they have is a big lake, but even then one could always see the trees or mountains on the other side.]
The Walls.
[That's all he can really say, because his world is only just that. He wasn't even sure if his planet had a proper name to be given.]
no subject
Huh. [Nick looks around them, watching as other people enjoy the water, running into the waves, splashing each other, all the fun and games. He nods in their direction.] Then you should definitely do some of that while you've got the chance.
no subject
Can't swim.
[Or well, that's his excuse right now. He averts his eyes again and looks down at the sand and the crystal clear water that was now lapping at his knees.]
What about you? Why aren't you doing that? [The whole giggling and enjoying life thing.]
no subject
Though, credit where it's due, she's probably better at taking care of herself than Nick is at taking care of himself.]
Me? [He shouldn't sound so surprised. It's a perfectly good question.] I'm not really a sun worshiper. That and sharks. I watched Jaws way too many times as a kid.
[Do they even have sharks here? Surely not.]
I bet there's someone who could teach you.
no subject
[BAD IDEA NICK. He doesn't need to know about water titans, but oh well the question is out there now and he is curious.]
It's not high on my 'to do' list.
[He doesn't even have a list right now, but learning how to swimming is surely at the bottom of it.]
no subject
[Or just don't go into the water at all, which seems to be the plan they're going with here.]
So, you want a real drink? I bet they've got really good rum here.
no subject
His eyebrows raise and eyes widen when he hears that. He thought this world was safe. The ocean was suppose to be some kind of wondrous, safe, and beautiful thing. But no, apparently that has water titans. He is glad he didn't go in it now.]
Is your world doing anything about them?
[You know. Like killing them?]
Yeah, why not. [He suddenly has little interest in the water.]
no subject
Yeah, I think they might be on some endangered lists or something. [So. Protecting them. Nick turns away from the water and heads back up the beach.] You are over eighteen, right? What's your name?
no subject
[WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING THIS???
When he hears that next question he raises an eyebrow. He was starting to wonder just how old people thought he was.]
Yeah. Much older.
[34 yo.]
It's Levi.
